Jim here. Got a glimpse of Disney's RAPUNZEL for you! Well it is not much of a shot, but things are starting to happen on the production.

As you may be aware, this is a Disney Animation effort and should be well received. Anticipated release of the stereoscopic 3D animation is Christmas 2010.

RAPUNZEL will be directed by Glen Keane and Dean Wellins. In this new telling of the classic fairy tale, "Rapunzel," audiences will be transported to a stunning CG fantasy world complete with the iconic tower, an evil witch, a gallant hero and, of course, the mysterious girl with the long golden tresses. Expect adventure, heart, humor, and hair … lots of hair, when Rapunzel unleashes her locks in theaters for the 2010 holiday.

Further, (via GeekTyrant) we have a piece of YouTube history with some test footage from the project (then entitled RAPUNZEL: UNBRAIDED) and some older concept art.

I am very enthusiastic about seeing how Disney will treat the classic tale. Though maybe it is because I have extremely short hair...
